MRS. BOBBS'S WILL.
Her Nephew. John J. Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania, Files Suit Contesting 1t.

A suit to contest the will of the late Mrs.
Catherine Bobbs, wife of DR.. Bobbs. was begun
in the Circuit Court yesterday. Mrs. Bobbs was
the sister OF Hon. Simon Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania- She died on the 22d of last April and
left an estate in this city, where
she had lived for over forty years,
valued at from 100000 to $50. 900.
The plaintiff in the suit is John j. Cameron, a
nephew of Mrs Bobbs, and the defendants. Mrs.
Margaret G. Hoderman. Virginia c. McVeagh,
the wife of WAYNE McVeagh, Marion G.
Watts. and Miss JEANETTE Cameron. The will
1t was executed Nov. %. 1886. and
provided that Mrs. Margaret G. Holderman.
Mrs. Virginia McVeagh, neices OF the
Of her estate. and that Marion
c. Watts, his wife, and Miss Jeanette
Cameron, daughter of her nephew, Brewer Cam
provided for other relatives in small sums.
Among the other provisions was 81, 600 for her
nephew, John j. Cameron. On Dec. she had
her attorney, Major Gordon. draw up a codicil.
in which she gave TO John j. Cameron $500 and
the interest on $40, 900 during his lifetime, the
money to be held in trust for him by Wayne Nc
wsagR Again al. the had 18th ..o aay
codicil drawn, in which she gave to John j. Cam
eron 81 1000 in cash, in addition to what she had
already given him. just a month later third
codicils and leaving the will as it originally
stood. giving John j. Cameron bnt 81. 600. The
complaint AYERS that at the time Mrs
Bobbs signed the original will and the first
two codicils she was in her right mind,
but that about the first Of March, this year,
and a few days before she signed the revoking
codic1l, she became OF unsound mind, and was
not legally capable of attending to her business
affairs. The complaint also charges that
after Mrs. Margaret Holderman and
Miss JEANETTE Cameron had procured
Mr.. Bobbs's signature to the revokng
codicl they took her to their home in Pennsyl-
vania and kept her there until she died, that
if she had had desire TO make any changes in
her will she would not have had the opportu-
nifty to 60 so. The court is asked to annul tho
will as probated and admit the codcils provd-
ing for John j. Cameron, and purporting to be

SINKING OF SWAMPS.
&Strange Change in Wet Land Along the
Belt Road. South Of the City.

A Wisconsin paper mentions the singular fact
that "a swamp near Tomahawk Lake, sunk
thirty feet under the weight of the earth thrown
into it to fill it up" There are occasional mani
festations ofeccentrcity in the conduct of swamps
that, If they do not puzzle science at least
have never been satisfactorily explained by any
science scientist in this region. The eastern
roadway Of the Belt railroad. from the lower
bridge to the river bluff, at South Meridian
street. was originallybuilt on piles driven twenty
feet or more into the swamp that covered large
tract Of the river bottom. These piles, in few
months, were forced ont of place SO far that new
ones had to be driven to support the half-aban-
doned track. The movement mainly from
north TO south, aud it's effect was much like
strong heavy pressure in that direction, as il
current moved the half-solidifed swamp mass
southwark. Then the pile work was filled in
with great masses of earth and gravel and this
sunk in the bottomless slush. forcing up several
feet above its level the surface of the adjacent
parts of the swamp The movable gave
way to the weight of the dumped matter and
rose. making a sort of terrace all round the FILL
fifteen or twenty feet wide. AS the change was
permanent, the effect is easily at any time

REVIEW OF THE REALTY MARKET.
Dealers Expect Another Revival Soon-More
Building than For Ten Years Previous.

There are indications of revival in the
real estate market. Real estate agents predict
that during the coming fall months the transac-
tions will compare we'll with those of the spring
months People who have salable property are
still holding for better prices. During the last
week there were ffty-two deeds re-
corded, representing $113,531. The
majority of the sales, usual, were
of outlots that being purchased for
building purposes The only large deal was the
transfer of the ninety eight acres north OF the
logical Union of Chicago, to E. G. Atkins s. Co.,
the saw manufacturers. The deal means an ad-
dition to the manufact uring interests Of the city
of some magnitude.
Building permits con tinue to be taken out as
rapidly contractors can do the work. Sixteen
were issued during the week. calling for an out
lay of about many thousand dollars. With
but few exceptions they were for cottage resi-
dences The more important were the follow
ing: L. V. Boyle, a two-story frame house. on
College avenue. near Lexington avenue, to cost
street, near Eighth. $1,000; l. G. Nachsich,
two-story frame house Prospect
street, near Spruce. $1,000; s. Munsop, frame
cottage at No. AZ Beatty street. ST. 200. and Mr..
Seventh street, 81, ZOO Said leading contract
or yesterday: We now have enough work in
sight to keep US busy until cold weather.
and have been asked to take many
contracts that we have had to refuse I do not
think there has been as much building done in
mary OF what has been done after the season
closes will startle the people. There isn't sub
urban site that has not nearly doubled its resi-
dence capacity since April"
